Local Improvement District Formation (Cont.) and asked the City give the owners thirty days to sit down with the Washington Harness Club to work things out. He noted several legal problems on legal descrip- tions and ownership. Tom Matson also opposed the L.I.D. formation because if the road was for the race track they should pay for it He did not see how it would increase the benefits of his property. MOTION by Hitchcock, SECOND by Kurle, to close the public hearing. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mary Seabrands gave a brief description of the two L.I.D.'s and explained the need for amending the L.I.D. to including undergrounding of wiring. Craig wondered the percent in favor of the L.I.D. Seabrands indicated 81%. Craig questioned if "R" Street was scheduled to be a collector street. Seabrands indicated it was in the plans and had been as long as he had been with the City. Craig noted the City's policy had been in the past especially in the case of an arterial the City would pay for oversizing the second lane. Seabrands reported the Street Committee had indicated they wanted to allow $50,000 for the street improvement. John Bannon, Entranco, confirmed the extra lane would cost $50,000. Craig stated he could not see where 30 days would help because Shaughnessy was saying there was no benefit to his property and opposes the L.I.D. outright. He felt I the only issue was whether or not forming the L.I.D. was equitable and fair. Several members of the Council questioned the process necessary to include or not include undergrounding in the L.I.D. Larson suggested going ahead with the L.I.D. and not delaying at least that part and later adding the undergrounding. George Mack advised this could be done. MOTION by Kurle, SECOND by Hitchcock, to authorize allo- cation of $50,000 from the 1984 Arterial Street Fund to support construction of proposed improvements to 30th Street.

B. Audience Participation - Crabtree Agreements (Cont.) plats and approval of the right of Burnstead Construction Company to acquire building permits for lots within Divisions 1 and 2. Nevins gave a brief update on the status of the items still needing completion including telemetery to sewage lift sta- tion, Statutory Warranty Deed on the easement for the right to maintain the force main on the north side of the river from Puget Power, a fence, testing of telemetery and opera- tional manuals for the well and lift station.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Rainier Vista Rezone Pat Dugan gave an update on the progress with discussions with the proponents and opponents of the rezone. He noted there were four areas of disagreement with the main area of dispute being the total number of units. Steve Sommerset, First City Corporation, reviewed the draft agreement summary posted on the board: 1.) Eliminates multi -family housing, 2.) Provides for long term develop- ment assurance, phasing and continuity, 3.) Limits contract to 10 year "life" dependent on LID formation, 4.) Guarantees First City Developments Corp. financial par- ticipatio in Kersey Way, Sewer and Water LID's, 5.) Establishes R2 Density (Unit Yield or Count), 6.) Provides ' minimum lot size flexibility to 4,000 square feet, 7.) Creates dedicated parkland of 5% of gross area, 8.) Requires that all appropriate public facilities be provided prior to the issuance of building permits. He also provided a suggested formular for determining number of lots. Richard Wagner spoke in opposition to the rezone indicating they were close to a compromise, however, they had reached an impasse on the number of units. He indicated opponents would be willing to compromise at appoximately 800 units. Bob Peters also spoke in opposition stating the cap on the total units was too much. He felt they were closer to reso- lution of problems. The Council discussed the problem of agreement on the number of units, how it could be computed and what the zoning requirements are. Dugan noted the only area of disagreement was in the agreement to vary the units which would in essence change the zoning ordinance. Kurle questioned the parks allowance. Dugan indicated it depended on the total lot and it was a City policy rather than ordinance. MOTION by Craig, SECOND by Larson, to instruct the Mayor and staff to draft an ordinance that incorporated the con- tents of the rezone agreement that included the provisions outlined on the board up through Item 5 and changing Item 6 to be a minimum of 6,000 feet and the last item, unumbered, but the R-2 yield would be changed to read that the R-2 yield would include all the provisions of an R-2 rezone in terms of the front, side and back yard set -backs and that the formula that the staff would work out would be the number of living units in the development would not exceed 850.
